Arm Description
0.5mg/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected around the incision for wound infiltration
20mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected on each side of the abdomen for ssTAP procedures
20mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injection on each side of the abdomen and catheters placed for repeat bolus every 12 hours with 20mL of 0.25% Bupivacine until 48 hours post procedure or hospital discharge.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Total morphine consumption postoperatively for pain management as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scale.
The total morphine consumption used post operatively to manage pain will be measured utilizing the VAS pain scale with 0 being no pain and 10 being as much pain as can be tolerated.
